Behind the Photos V

This edition of Behind the Photos is a mishmash of shots taken throughout late Winter 2010. There is no rhyme or reason to the order they are in or anything and they are pretty random in general but I felt like showing them to you. So try to imagine that you've popped around to mine, I've poured you a cup of tea (or a glass of wine if you're so inclined) and we're flipping through my photo album...

Here's Gregory and I in French Nana's bar. I like this one because Gregory's eyes are sky blue in it. Obviously they're blue in real life but they rarely look this blue.

Gregory moved out of his mother's house to start boarding school when he was only eleven years old, and when he finished school, he came down here to Provence so he never lived in his childhood bedroom again. For some reason French Maman has kept Gregory's room as it was when he left at eleven, that means toy cars and stuffed animals. This amuses me to no end.

Me celebrating my birthday for the first time in France. This is at Papa's house, Papa's Wife had given me a cheese board and a large bowl for serving pasta (of course the presents were from Papa as well but I know that he had absolutely zero input in picking them out). Those jeans I'm wearing in the photo were my favorite ever. They stopped fitting me about ten months after I moved to The LPV. Moving to France will do that to you.

Nothing makes Fifty look more pathetic than bath time.

Look how young Child Bride looks in this photo! Heck, I even look young, but she looks like a bitty baby. Only a year after this photo was taken she was an old married lady and La Petite was well on her way.

aw, that's kind of sweet that Gregory's childhood room is still exactly the same. it probably makes sleeping in there slightly weird, surrounded by the childhood toys, but still. it gives you a good glimpse of what your husband was like as a little boy.

You and Gregory make a gorgeous couple, ma cherie. And Fifty's poor little bathtime face is just pathetic :)) hehe

I had to catch up on all your most recent posts.......the story of Gregory taking the microphone at the restaurant is hilarious - hopefully you got your hot dogs and frites tres vite after that stunt!!!

Fáilte, Bienvenue, and Welcome!
After ten years living life as an American expat in Europe, I've returned to the States with my French husband and dog in tow.
Follow along on my adventures and misadventures as I bid adieu to the Gypsy lifestyle while trying to set down roots and navigate my new life as an ex-expat back 'home' again.
